Purple Mountain Radon Before & After Photos

Purple Mountain Radon was called to look into a system installed a few years ago that wasn't reducing radon levels. The outside was only one issue to resolve. 

Homeowner requested a mitigation system that tied in to the perimeter drain/sump.

Radon, an invisible and odorless gas, can seep into homes from the ground and pose significant health risks if left unchecked. In December 2024, Purple Mountain Radon completed a challenging radon mitigation project in Simla, CO, for a homeowner whose basement and crawlspace tested above 30 pCi/L. The team addressed the issue by creating a dual suction system that connected a basement suction point and a crawlspace suction point through a framed "pony" wall. The crawlspace was carefully encapsulated using multiple layers of 6-mil vapor barrier with gas/vapor matting beneath, ensuring proper airflow and radon gas collection. Additionally, the open cells in the "pony" wall were sealed with foam to prevent radon entry. The system was strategically vented at the corner of the crawlspace, ensuring optimal performance.
